"Call Sign: Wrecking Crew (Storm Warning)" by David McKoy and Lynn Halbrooks is quite entertaining. There is a lot going on in this book! It has adventure, action, suspense, intrigue, and even romance! I enjoyed reading it thoroughly. It's a quick moving book that held my interest from prologue to epilogue. It strikes me as an alternate future much like the alternate histories that have been written. The style is much like the writings of Dick Marcinko (who is acknowledged as an influence). I think it does justice to that type of hard-hitting action adventure.
There is a lot of military jargon in the book that could lose some readers. If you find something you don't understand, skip to the back of the book where you'll find an extensive glossary. The book is written from a distinctly conservative viewpoint that I personally enjoyed. If you don't share that viewpoint, you might look elsewhere. If you do, I think you will find the book entertaining. It's a fun book with a lot of layers. I look forward to more works by these authors.

Politicians beware, the Wrecking Crew is on call...
You need only to read an interview about these two authors to know what a spectacular creative match they make. In other hands a CIA special ops teams might amount to only a few weapons and a tough line or two, but with David McKoy and Lynn Hallbrooks the Wrecking Crew is truly a full cast of characters with real lives and real relationships. In fact, you'll get at least two team romances coming right out of the gate. David's in depth knowledge of all things military shines through as well.
The Wrecking Crew is actually sent to the border of Iran for a secret mission, but when the President falls ill and our country changes political hands, all hell breaks loose. As the crew covertly reenters the country and makes their way back to Texas, it quickly becomes obvious that law is changing and a new order is about to break loose. Suddenly it's the government versus patriots, and you can be certain Mac, Deb, JT, TK and the others are on the side of the people, and not with the men in suits who have twisted up everything that freedom stands for.
With the help of recently expelled CIA agent Bill Winchester, the Wrecking Crew begins their first mission on home soil. It isn't long before they all realize that corruption has seeped up through the very tree of liberty and now rests solidly within the White House. This new battle is for keeps and, be they allies or foes, the sides quickly begin to form. Left with no choice, the Wrecking Crew leads the fight for clean government and the powers-that-be begin to quake....
If you've ever questioned the US system and its representatives, the themes within these pages are certain to stir your soul. The fact that you'll grow to love the characters is just icing on the cake. Be sure to read this military adventure...but don't be surprised if it encourages you to interpret tomorrow's news in an entirely different way.
